I need to create a simple iRule to redirect HTTP requests going to a URL (same as the HOST name) to the full URI. Basically appending the URI to the end of the URL. For example, here are the settings:

HOST= [site.domain.com](http://site.domain.com)

URL= [site.domain.com](http://site.domain.com)

URI= [site.domain.com/OA](http://site.domain.com/OA)\_HTML/main.jsp

Full URI: [https://site.domain.com/OA\_HTML/main.jsp](https://site.domain.com/OA%5C_HTML/main.jsp)

The iRule I created results in the page showing an error due to too many redirects.

when HTTP\_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::uri] contains “/”}

{ HTTP::redirect “[https://site.domain.com/OA\_HTML/main.jsp](https://site.domain.com/OA%5C_HTML/main.jsp)” }

}

How can I make this work? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

,

Try below iRule. It should work as per your use case.

**when HTTP\_REQUEST {**

**HTTP::redirect “https://[getfield [HTTP::host] “:” 1]/OA\_HTML/main.jsp”**

**}**

Hope it helps!
